NEW STORY!

Yeah, it's again ZoroxReader/OC (because I love to write that) and it's again AU (because I love to write that) but this time, instead of working in a large company, we go to HIGH SCHOOL! And I thought about writing in reader's POV but I also wanted to try something different so I wrote from "third viewer's" POV. I hope you enjoy this and if you think this chapter is small and short, don't worry, the next one's will be double length ;)

Because I want to write with Japanese culture, I googled some things and tried to write with Japanese school system. All I wrote was learned from anime and found on google so I'm not an expert on Japanese school system. Forgive me if I made some mistakes and please tell me to correct them! Also, if you know about their school system I would be more than glad if you tell me about it. Thank you so much!

STORY IS PRE-TIME SKIP!

enjoy~

Fully grown sakura trees that were proudly standing by the road looked like a nice and fluffy pink clouds. The petals of full bloomed sakura danced on the warm spring wind as they slowly fall in front of many feet of new and fresh high school students that were taking that route to their new school. Every year, sakura trees would greet new and old students wishing them good luck at the new beginnings.

Regardless of peaceful sakura petals falling on the road, young students passed by in chatter or in a hurry, climbing up the slope that lead to their school. Girls chatted about their new school uniforms and in their voices could be heard a tone of pride of their new looks. Old middle school sailor-like uniforms were now replaced with a nice two-button black blazer, short plaid red skirt and a tie with a match design. Boys didn't make a fuss about the new uniforms and just walked slowly, mostly chatting about a certain TV show that was on last night. But, they all really looked handsome in their nice and new blazers and ties.

First day of high school was the most stressful one for approximately all the fresh first year students. The large gate of prominent and new high school was open, ready for newcomers. Some students knew each other from their previous schools but there were always those who were the most nervous to enter the new and unknown ground all alone.

'Okay, I can do this!', a certain girl thought, nodded and with courage in her heart stepped on the school ground.

She didn't know but, once she got in a large amount of older students started invading. And she wasn't the only victim - all the new students had to deal with invasion of the club members and their shouts for joining a club. The girl tried to avoid as many as possible but once she got out of the crowd, not only did she have a messy hair, but her hands were full of club fliers. She, realizing she's still alive and well, arranged the fliers, sighed, knowing that that's a process of every high school, and put that nice amount of papers in her bag. All that charade and worry seem to disappear at the entering ceremony and once all the students went back to their classrooms, a real thing began.

Every student would stand up and introduce themselves. There were shy but also proud girls, confident and loud boys. New class 1-B was assembled with many different people.

Not much was done on the first day – most of the people got to know each other, there were again those friends who knew each other from middle school, people who discovered things in common and immediately made groups and then there were those who only sat in their chairs, alone, reading, scribbling or just staring at one dot.

'Great! New school and already alone.', that certain girl that was attacked by invading club thought to herself sighing and resting her head on the palm of her hand.

"Hey, Sana-san!", a call of her name snapped her out of her thought. She lifted her head to the girl whose voice called her. There were actually two girls standing by her desk, smiling at her.

"Do I… know you?", she asked, looking at the both girls at the time. One of them formed a wide smile and leaned forward to her. She seemed somehow wild but nice. The other one kept smiling, acting formal like a princess.

"My name's Emi and this is Haruna.", a 'wild' girl with brown short length hair spoke up to her. She was the one who called her name few moments ago. The other girl, Haruna, had a long wavy light brown hair with her bangs pinned back and a gentle-looking face. The confused Sana just nodded to her.

"Ah, sorry, I hope it's okay for me to call you by your first name.", the wild-looking girl, Emi, backed off the desk and smiled nicely again, "After hearing the name of the middle school you were in, I finally remember that I know you. You probably don't know us, Haruna and I went to the same class while you were in a different one. We were all together in a choir but after some time you left. We heard that you had a surgery.", Emi said, forming a sad face which Haruna followed.

"Yes… I had to quit and I'm sorry… I can't remember you two.", Sana said but the two girls in front of her just smiled and continued talking to her until the bell was heard and they all went back to studying.

…

"So, how about joining the choir club?", Emi asked while she, Haruna and Sana took a same route back home.

"Ah, I don't know…", said Sana with a sad face, "I mean… I went to the doctor, he said I can sing again but I'm still afraid to try…", a pause came up and none of the girls spoke up.

"Well… I guess it is okay. I won't force you to anything.", Emi said, making Sana lift her head to her, "When you decide just talk to me and I will make sure senpai lets you join the club. Haruna and I would gladly want you in.", they both smiled making Sana smile back softly at them.

"This is where we split, Sana-chan. See you tomorrow.", Haruna said and waving went with Emi different way.

On her way home, Sana passed by the convenient store and her attention got an unusual and tall guy. He was leaning on the vending machine, looking at the drinks in it, seeing like he can't decide which one to take. She saw him on his side – he had a delinquent like eyes and he looked even scary while frowning at the cans behind the glass. But, her attention wasn't captured by his eyes… It was his hair that was unusual – green! She took a step to the side, gulped once and calmly passed the delinquent looking guy. After she thought she was at the safe distance from him she finally let out a sigh of relief to calm her racing heart.

'Oh god… I thought he was going to attack me… But, it's strange… I've been walking this road ever since I enter elementary school and I never saw him. I just hope he doesn't drag along his gang.', Sana almost felt like crying in fear.

…

At dinner, Sana talked about her first day at school because her Mom just wouldn't stop asking. Her parents were pleased that their daughter has made friends on a first day at school and encourage her to keep up the good spirit. Sana's younger brother wanted attention too so he just started talking about his school day in the middle of conversation that parents had with his sister.

After the nice dinner and a relaxing bath, Sana just laid in her bed, thinking about her day at school. It didn't seem so special – many fliers from school clubs, two new friends that were surprisingly going to the same middle school as her and that delinquent guy. Suddenly a shiver went down her spine and she covered herself over the head.

'He really scared me, damn it! I don't want to experience that again.', she crawled in a ball and fell asleep faster than she expected.

…

Beeping alarm clock filled her ear and interrupted her dream but no matter how hard it was for Sana, she had to get up – it was a school day. After she had done her morning stuff and put on her still new and fresh school uniform, Sana went down to breakfast. Mom's toast with sunny-side-up was always so delicious and she would let her children out of the house before they finish it all. Luckily that Sana's school was somehow near so she didn't have to run. The breakfast was over and everyone went their own way.

Sakura trees were once again greeting the hard working students that were nicely climbing the slope. On her way up, Sana met familiar faces from yesterday – Emi and Haruna called her name, making Sana stop and wait for them to walk together.

…

School was school – all studying and writing. The only free time that students were happy about was lunch time. Already, class divided into groups: popular guys, popular girls, shy ones, otakus, sports people etc. Luckily for Sana, Haruna and Emi were with her, other ways she would be lost and alone as the shy and not-so-social girl she was.

"So, did you decide? Are you going to join the choir?", Emi asked Sana in the middle of their lunch.

"Emi-chan, it's just a second day of school. You asked Sana-chan that just yesterday.", Haruna tried to scold Emi but her voice wasn't giving out the tone of anger no matter how hard she tried.

"Sorry.", Emi apologized, realizing she made a mistake.

"Ah, no, it's okay… It'll probably take me some time to adjust to this school and gather up my courage. I still can't assure you that I'll join but once I have my decision, I'll let you know.", Sana smiled, making Emi happy again.

The rest of the meal in the classroom went in Emi's jokes and laughs. The three girls were getting close.

…

And so, day after day, high school life became a nice routine for Sana. She made nice friends, not only with Emi and Haruna but with some other girls and boys from the class. But, her two closest friends seemed like sisters to her. They would always eat lunch together, walk home together, laugh and joke around together. Sana still hasn't decided on joining the choir club with Emi and Haruna and the club activities were already going. With that on, Sana's two friends couldn't stay and have lunch with her on some days. They had a practice during that break so Sana had to eat alone but she really didn't mind that because at the end of the day, her two best friends would always come back and walk home with her.

About a month and a half passed from the opening ceremony and another lunch break came. This time three friends ate together at their usual spot in the classroom – Sana's desk.

"Do you want to hear a rumor?", Emi whispered to her two friends. They were both staring curiously at her, waiting to hear the secret, "Maki, a popular girl from our class that is always a center of attention… I heard she already got a boyfriend.", Haruna and Sana gasped at the secret but closed their mouths fast and went back to Emi, "Don't tell anyone. People say he's a delinquent from 1-D and whoever mocks Maki will get beaten by his. They also say he's super scary that you just can't look him straight in the eyes.", she ended and they all sat back up straight.

Delinquent? Scary eyes? That seemed so familiar to Sana but she just could remember why…

"So, whatever you do, don't make contacts with Maki.", Emi said and continued to eat her bento. Sana was starting to feel uneasy. She looked at Maki, popular girl with long hair who was surrounded by many girls. She was pretty and a delinquent guy just wouldn't suit her. Sana just couldn't imagine that kind of pairing but she just shrugged and went back to eating her home-made lunch box. She decided not to get herself involve with Maki at any cost!

…

Spring was unusually sunny and it was one of those days where Sana had to eat her lunch alone because her two friends had choir practice. She really wanted to spend her lunch time with them but she was still uneasy about singing. As it was a nice and sunny day outside, Sana wanted to try something different for her lunch break. Like something was calling for her, she went up the stairs and on the roof. No one was there and it was a peaceful place to have a nice and delicious meal.

'Away from the crowd and people… If I'm going to be alone for this lunch, this is a perfect place.', Sana thought and closed a door behind her.

As there were no benches or anything, she went and sat on the side of the roof entrance. She leaned to the wall and took a slight look at the fluffy clouds. A nice spring breeze was stronger on the roof but that only calmed her more. Sana opened her lunch box and enjoyed every bite on her new lunch spot. The roof seemed so perfect to her even though it was empty. But just because it was so empty and wide, Sana felt relaxed and free.

The door on the roof opened but a happy girl didn't notice that. She was too focused on the nice flavors that were like a fresh discovery to her. She was happy and enjoyed her meal, warm spring sun making it all more wonderful. But her happiness was cut by the shadow falling on her; someone blocked that warmth of the sun. She stopped her meal and looked up, almost choking on rice. A tall man was standing in front of her, his eyes piercing hers, making Sana froze in her place. She was filled with fear. After a couple of seconds she saw the guy more clearly. He didn't move, only frowned more at the poor girl who was in the middle of her lunch.

'Tall… masculine… scary, narrow and delinquent-looking eyes… and… green hair!', her own eyes widen as she remembered the night after her first school day. The guy standing in front of her… was the same scary guy in front of the convenient store!

"Oi!", he spoke up and Sana flinched, barely swallowing the rice she had in her mouth, "This is where I eat my lunch! You're sitting on my spot!", he growled, making Sana's blood freeze. The tone in his voice was scary, like he had a killing intent. He frowned, clenching his fist. Sana was scared to death. What will he do to her?
